Biography

Born in Santiago, Chile, Moller studied at the New York Botanical Garden, where she learned the basic skills of hand drafting and designing skills [1] [2] before opening her landscape design studio.

She has developed projects such as Punta Pite [3] and the Periurban Calama Park in Chile, alongs with works in Shanghai, Argentina, Corsica, and a permanent exhibition for Internationale Gartenausstellung 2017 titled Beeing under the trees. [4]

In 2011, Punta Pite was included in Blanca Montaña (White Mountain), a selection of the most outstanding works of Chilean architecture over the past 20 years, alongside projects by Alejandro Aravena, Smiljan Radic, and Pezo von Ellrichshausen. [5] [6] Five years later, she was invited to design an intervention for the International Exhibition of the Venice Architecture Biennale, where she displayed a series of travertine marble pieces extracted from a quarry in the Atacama Desert. [7]

Moller received the 2021 Global Award for Sustainable Architecture, sponsored by UNESCO, alongside Paraguayan architects Gloria Cabral, José Cubilla, and Solano Benítez. [8] She was also featured as one of the 50 landscape architects in 250 Things a Landscape Architect Should Know, [9] published by Birkhauser publishers that same year.

In 2024, Moller served on the jury for the $60 million revitalization of the National Gallery of Australia's three-hectare sculpture garden, alongside Philip Goad, Nici Cumpston, and Nick Mitzevich. [10]

Her approach to work has been described as "a careful observation and awareness of the landscape is key for developing successful social-culture projects." [11]
